Happy times, happy times,
don't come ev'ry day!
So let's all be happy now,
and smile just while we may.
Troubles come troubles go,
as we jog along,
so join your hands for old time's sake
and sing this little song:

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.

Faces bright, heart's delight,
make life happy and gay;
there's no time for sorrow if
you smile your cares away:
join the fun, toast each one
be they great or small:
then join me in the chorus
of the greatest toast of all.

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.

Mam and dad, mam and dad,
jazzing there you see;
Grandad cries,
I'm eighty but
I'm darned if they'll beat me
Uncle Ned with one leg,
grabs old Auntie Flo
dances her around the room,
each singing as they go:

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.

Here's to you, here's to me,
this time next year!
May we be a happy family,
this time next year!
Let troubles pass
lift up your glass,
to the friends both far and near,
and hope that we all
together still will be,
this time next year.
